Tracks used: The One Substance, Semantic Shift
The performance and film ‘AT’ by choreographer Davoud Zare is a research on creating movements and choreography in the field of contemporary dance. The act of avoiding food deeply influences different levels of the performer’s daily life including his physical, emotional and sensual behaviour and also his thoughts and perception of time. Thus the performer is simultaneously the subject of the performance and also the object of preconditions of the performance.
Year: 2010
Country: UK
Dance performance: A Stream of Waiting
Choreographer: Fortunato Angelini
Venue: Trinity Laban at Bonnie Bird Auditorium. London
Performed by: Susanna Sastro, Vincenzo Capasso
Tracks used: From The Ontology of Noise
‘A Stream of Waiting’ is a piece of choreography created by Fortunato Angelini, which produces movement from a process of abstraction starting from specific subjects. The act of abstraction was the stimulus for the choreographic approaches and the application of video images as the scenographic design. The guideline for the practical research in this work and choreographic implications was the play Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett.
